Does anyone know if the kibble size is the same as the c&amp;p organix adult?

I believe that the Puppy (I think that's what you mean by kibble) formula is just a little bit smaller, but still the adorable same heart shape.

Don't worry about the tiny specks unless they are moving> The ground up veggies in the BFG are normal. We have used this food for several years and are very happy with it. Be sure to note that the BFG (before grain)is very different from the new Purrrrfect Bistro that is sold at Petco. PB has ground cellulose(cardboard) as a filler.We are very keen on what goes into our kitties and think highly of Merrick's Before Grain #1. but more importantly our cats thrive on it.

It's actually smaller pieces than store brands like Meow mix and 9 lives... They are just little round pellets. I think they have a small bag too if you want to try it out and see. Hope this helps.

Go for the expanded capacity model and try it for at least a week with your kibble. Spherical definitely works better than triangular food. My cat loves his kibble, so this helps give him small amounts throughout the day.

staceynp, I really don't know. My best suggestion is to start your order and see if it fits. I chose the medium size for my dog and the name is only four characters plus the phone number. Your idea is a good one. Maybe shorten to "food allergy" rather than the name.

here is a link for the original one that i have and love. i don't know if this "new" one is by the same company or not but if you look at the bases, they are quite different. the one with the pebbled surface, that catches kibble and provides more activity, is the one you want.http://www.redferret.net/?p=27981

The kibble are actually very small, about 1/4" in diameter. This makes it easy for my older to cat to chew (she's missing a few teeth).

I've used a lot if different kibble with the larger dial and haven't had a problem! I'm using Costco's grain free food right now and I've used Blue, Merricks, Halo and a ton of others. Maybe try getting sample bags at your local pet store. Are you pulling the dial off and cleaning under it? Filling with 2 cups of food?

Petco Uses really small ones that aren't a bad size, but the medium is really good. 7 1/2 inches of pure fun! They will enjoy it as my winter white dwarf does. I suggest spending the extra (like, 2 dollars?) and getting a medium. Just make sure you have room for 7 1/2 inch toys. ENJOY! :)

Sounds about right to me! I have an abused Papillon rescue guy who weighs about 12 pounds now. He had diarrhea for the 1st 3 months I had him, but the Wellness small breed core diet fixed him and now he's right as rain! He had been starved and given 1 cup of kibble A WEEK, had his tail broken by the "lady of the house" (NO LADY!), and now he's a delight. I give him a good handful of the Wellness in the morning and at night and he gets baby carrots for a treat if he eats well! HE LOVES CARROTS (just about any kind of "people food", even romaine lettuce!)GOOD LUCK WITH YOUR YORKIES.

I use Purina small bites in ours. Works perfectly! The pet stores also carry treats that fit but I prefer to just use kindle. It's cheaper and it doesn't upset his tummy.

It should be OK. Go to their website and compare ingredients. I'm guessing it is a little lower in fat and protein which means you can feed your pup a bit more treats, but not much more, LOL! I accidentally purchased the puppy formula instead of adult and my dogs were fine. The puppy formula has more protein and fat, but to tell the truth, not much! And the price was so much cheaper than the adult formula, I just might buy it all the time! Its a good seven bucks less per case! Wellness and some of the other so-called high quality foods have much more protein in their dry food alone. My pups eat Taste of the Wild dry food, which is an excellent, never advertised, (so the cost savings can be passed on to the consumer) lower cost, high quality, no grain, high quantity of meat (not meat byproducts) food and the doggies love it. Their protein is a little less than those other popular high prices brands. My sisters German Shepherd could not handle the high protein and ToTW had just enough. So, I dont think messing with a few grams of protein one way or another makes much of a difference for the time it will take for your pup to eat one case of dog food. I have two standard Dachshunds (6 y.o. & 4 y.o.) & a 5-1/2 y.o. Boston Terrier mix. All very healthy. They share 1/3 can of CSFTDLS as a flavor enhancer (little princess Bostey girl doesn't like just dry food, the Doxies will just about eat beef flavored cardboard, they don't care, LOL), 2x's per day.

I think they're pretty much the same, it's just the size. This one is for cats because of it's size. You'd want a bigger one for dogs. Just in case though I'd read the labels carefully.

Yes, I have used Purina and now I'm using more expensive, medicated food that's a lot bigger. Have not had any problems.

Kibble size isn't a big deal.. Both are fine - the age would big the main concern as far as nutritional requirements. Large breed puppies should have lower calcium. Protein in Core Original is good for all stages and ages. I have an 11 year 40lb spitz breed (Norwegian Buhund) on this food... Had to change shepherd/Dobie mix puppy over to Wellness large breed (w/ grain but no wheat/soy) because of "growing pains" at 1 year I'll get her back to Core grain free.

I just saw that a customer said that the kibble would not fit - I have a large size waggle bone - and it works fine.

I think you'd be better off with the medium, unless the kibble size is extremely small. I used the small when my dog ate kibble the size of a pea. You can also cut the inside prongs (there are 3-4) and to let the food out a little faster. Hope that helps.
